Cobalt 282This high-quality bowrider should last a lifetime. Our test vessel, with its twin 300-hp sterndrives, had a tendency to porpoise, however. Bottom Paints: 12-Month Checkup The water-based Interlux Bottomkote Aqua leads the way with Excellent ratings in Florida and Connecticut. At $60 a gallon, Tarr & Wonson Copper Paint is clearly our Best Buy. Anti-Slimers Slumping The more expensive bottom paints with anti-slime additives such Irgarol are failing to perform as well as the cheaper paints. Infant Life Jackets For infants, we like the MTI Bay Bee 201-I. For 30- to 50-pound children, Mustangs MV-3155 is clearly the best Autopilot Shootout In a test of four autopilots mounted on the same boat, the Nautamatic TR-1 performed flawlessly. The Simrad earns Best Buy. Fishing Harnesses Need a little help pulling in that big one? We recommend fishing-belt harnesses from Alutecnos and Braid. Editorial: 10/06 When and when not to use an autopilot; kite tubing is a dangerous extreme watersport that has led to injury and death. PBR Letters/Advisor: 10/06 Letter from Nautamatic, maker of TR-1 Gladiator autopilot. Uflex steering system, glue removal and soundproofing materials. Coast Guard Recalls Suzuki, Bayliner, Evinrude, Luhrs, S2 Yachts. | |||||
